"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Have you ever been in a situation where you forgot the girl's name? It happens sometimes, and it can make you lose a lot of comfort points if she knows you forget. Rather than get embarrassed, try this instead.

Me: "What's your name?"

Girl: "Sally, whaat you forgot my name already?"

Me: "Oh no I meant what's your last name....come on you think I'd forget you already?"

I forget names occasionally and this has saved me countless times. That's what happens when you're out there meeting so many women ;)
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

If I forget, I just somehow mention how goofy my driver's license pic looks and then do a "compare on photos" and make fun of hers. Works everytime! ;)

good idea in theory, but women NEVER show me their Driver's License because they always claim that it came out really bad. No one ever likes the DL picture ! ;)
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I think the cameras at the DMV are technologically advanced beyond anyone's comprehension. They take your actual picture, which was probably not bad, and put it through some sort of "fvck it up" program, in which every sort of horrible thing that can go wrong, does. Hair shall stick out at unnatural angles. You will forever have the look of a long-time stoner, when even HE is tripping off some excellent sh!t. Anything below your face will appear to be twice as thick as in reality. And your skin will make you look like scalding hot coffee was splashed in your face just minutes prior to the photo being taken.

That or the people who work at the DMV just really don't give a fvck.

My friend is probably the most forgetful person in the world. My memory isn't the best either, but I usually make it a point to remember. This only works if you have a wing man in the area.

If one of us forgets the girls name, we'll introduce her to our wing. That way we get to hear her name again without asking for it.

Then quite obviously the only explanation is that you, sir, were already fvcked up beforehand. :p The program was confused and produced a good picture. You're an error in the system.

Hmm... that's an idea. Go get your pic taken with your hair all crazy and just looking a mess, and it'll come out right!

You left off the last part:

Girl: Bulls***. You forgot my name.


No one would simply ask "What's your name" intending for the person to respond with their last name hence why anyone with an IQ over 100 will call you out on it. If she was a "007", then maybe this wouldn't apply
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

He's right. Now that I think about it, it doesn't sound right.

You would just be better off asking "What's your full name?", and drop all that other BS.

All these need to be field tested. It would have difficult for a girl to show you her DL because first of all she is afraid you'd be looking for her age and think she is either too old or too young. You all know women don't like to be noticed "old", when are actually are. Conversely, they don't like to be considered "young" when they actually are.

Or...just admit that you forgot??

One I do just messing with girls that always gets a good response, somewhere in our first or second encounter, say something like,

"Well, I guess I'll see you later...uhhm...was it Sarah...err..Shelly..no I mean Steph......"

Anyway, you say it in a playful way with names that sound like hers. But I always recover and tell her I'm just playing and then use her real name. It works on multiple leves.

I assume it could be adapted i cases where you really do forget her name.

Mulva!

There is no way to fish for someone's name without arousing suspicion. Call everyone baby.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

The DL one works great for me, never fails. It's almost more fun to forget her name and try to work that one into a routine than to actually remember her name.

My DL picture sucks! I look like a rapist caught in a wind tunnel...:p

correct me if I'm wrong, but by telling her you forgot her name, don't you signal her that you have some interest in her, but not (even) enough to remember it. That way she'll work harder on being special to you (if you bring it funny)

this is not theoretical, it actually works...I know for a fact:p
